[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38959] Complex integer types are not yet implemented

[Rik]

Update of bug #38959 (project octave):

                Priority:                 3 - Low => 1 - Later              

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #5:

I'm lowering the priority even further.  Since Matlab does not allow
calculation with complex integers, they are pretty useless.  Their only
advantage is that they take up less memory, but that is mostly undone by the
first point because presumably one would like to use the stored numbers in a
calculation.

For anything that really requires complex integers, I would implement a
translation unit at the periphery of the program that converts I/O back and
forth between complex integer and complex double.  Since there should be only
a few interfaces, say with a hardware peripheral, this isn't onerous.
